Can switching from DSL to cable modem causes AirPort to "Flash on Activity" nonstop?


hi!

switched dsl cable internet. after switched, green light on airport flashes -- if there's constant activity. airport set "flash on activity" when attached previous dsl modem , flashed when there obvious activity. flashes green -- when devices turned off.

have ruled out lurking on wifi. after resetting wireless password, green light again starts flashing constantly.

i've searched , searched internets similar issue, have yet find one.

should concerned? should let flash? see when there's activity on airport, watching flash time makes me paranoid.

p.s. same thing when hooked 2008 time capsule.

thoughts?
 

if cable modem acting bridge instead of router, airport seeing lot of activity. there people/bots out there doing port scans send packets every public ip can find.
